The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 153

Ethan

No, no, no. It isn’t real, this isn’t happening.

I was afraid our escape had been too easy, but l’m not sure what other choice we had. We were only two people, and doing this job right would have required an army. Maybe we should have taken more time to plan, rather than rushing in, but in the end it was always going to be the same odds. Besides, we had a very small window after I knocked the guards out and stole their uniforms, we wouldn’t have been able to use them as disguises tomorrow or the next day – after Aimon realized we had them.

It was a blessing we’d been able to find Jane and the pups so quickly, and Linda’s quick thinking truly had been inspired. I don’t regret the way we went about the rescue, I only regret that we didn’t succeed. This isn’t the way I wanted it to end. In a one-on-one fight I’m confident I could easily defeat Aimon – he’s twenty years my senior after all. However I don’t trust the King to give me a fair fight.

Right now he’s standing at the Palace door, flanked by half a dozen guards on either side. He’s wearing a smugleer, and my wolf howls in fury to think we came so close. “How did you know?”

“Didn’t you wonder why there weren’t guards at their door?” He arches a brow. “1 have every inch of that suite under video surveillance. I knew the moment you stepped inside.”

Disappointment wells up inside me, the cameras must have been hidden incredibly well, but it does make sense now. He was probably planning this from the very beginning. The blankets in the trolley shift from beneath, and Jane pushes them to the ground, revealing herself and the pups. I glance at her terrified expression, and she shakes her head, silently begging me not to do what I must.

I turn my back on her, fearing that I won’t be able to go through with this if I keep looking at her heartbroken expression. “Just let them go, Aimon. It’s me you want.” I demand.

“Ethan, no!” Jane is no longer begging in silence, she’s trying to scramble out of the laundry cart, wincing and whimpering in the process.
